- In the Task Manager window, go to the "Processes" or "Details" tab.
- Look for the "CPU" column, which displays the CPU usage percentage for each running process. You can sort the processes by CPU usage by clicking on the "CPU" column header.
2. Performance Monitor:
- Press Win+R, type "perfmon" in the Run dialog, and hit Enter to open the Performance Monitor.
- In the Performance Monitor window, click on the "Performance Monitor" node in the left panel.
- In the right panel, you'll see a graph showing the overall CPU usage. You can also add specific counters to monitor individual processes or system components.
- Right-click on the graph, select "Add Counters," and choose the desired counters under the "Processor" category to monitor CPU usage.
3. PowerShell:
- Open PowerShell by pressing Win+X and selecting "Windows PowerShell."
- Use the following command to retrieve the CPU usage percentage:

```
- This command will display the current CPU usage percentage.
These methods should help you check the CPU usage on a Windows Server. Depending on your specific requirements and preferences, you can choose the most suitable method for monitoring and managing CPU utilization on your server.
